A fascinating and often frightening look into the mind of a 21st-century, 30-something-year-old curmudgeon.

I suppose it could be worse. I'm not sure HOW, but it could be worse.

You are: A Hippie

You scored 54 Wisdom, 52 Tactics, 50 Guts, and 27 Ruthlessness!

You know nothing about tactics or war. You are docile and cowardly and the mere thought of violence is enough to make you wet yourself. Hate to break it to you, but chances are very good that you're not General material.... not even BAD General material. Hell you're probably not even a productive member of society. Why are you even here? Don't you have a peace pipe to smoke, or a war to protest or something? So here's to you and to whatever naive country that lets you vote....

So I saw the new Revolution controller today (well, pictures of it anyway, since I don't live in Tokyo) and even with all the things that are going on in the world, I plotzed.

This truly has the power to change everything, as far as gaming is concerned. I admit, it's not going to appeal to anyone (read: the hardcore gamer) but while all you noobs are playing your Splinter Cell 8, I'll be playing some freakishly weird and innovative Nintendo game with my wife.

September is International Piano Improv. Month

I so declare it. And what is more welcome than a nine-minute piano improv? I made this with the Virtual Piano from Art Vista. It's encoded in .ogg format (smaller - around 6MB - file size and it's still listenable) so get thee over to MediaMonkey.com and download the best media player on the planet, if you don't already have something that can play .ogg files.
